Insanity day 3 and hurting

I am afraid I know the answer, but I am sore as heck in my legs and butt......do I get after it anyway? ugh, does the soreness get better? oh and I am taking protein/recovery drink ....Thanks, Rob

    I had some soreness my first couple days then I started taking an amino acid supplement. I grabbed the gel taps from GNC; I take 3 in the morning on an empty stomach and then 3 at night before bed. It seems to be helping cause I haven't really been sore this week. Hope this helps!!

    Yesterday was the fourth workout and my legs were killing me! After a few warm up jumping jacks, the pain disappeared and I just went with it. No worries, it all came back minutes after the workout was over, lol

    It will get better! The first week I was SO hurt. Week two was much better. Make sure to re-feed your muscles after workouts. It helps a lot with the recovery.

    Keep going...if you stop now and wait for the soreness to go away, when you start back up, you will just be sore again. If you keep going, you'll work through the soreness as the muscles strengthen. Literally, I feel you pain!! but its worth it :)

    I am on Day 4 and i am aching like mad, I am just pushing through, just keep at it and think of the results. One thing I do is when I can feel the burn (pain) try and think of something else to take your mind off it. I always picture my daughter playing and laughing in the garden. But it works. Or is does for me
